3 important things to know about the character
- Lysander is the older twin though only by about three minutes. Despite the minuscule difference in ages Lysander is protective of his baby brother and acts as the mature, responsible older sibling.
- Lysander is bisexual and though he is open with it he can at times become flustered and nervous. When talking to anyone he finds attractive he'll lose his normal sense of composer and become something of a stuttering mess.
- Though he is a Hufflepuff he has an astute mind and it took the hat about two minutes of being torn between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff before finally deciding he was best suited among loyal and kind Hufflepuffs.
Muggles and their technology-It's something of an obsession for him. He finds them fascinating and even has a respectable collection of muggle technology and artifacts back home.
Magical creatures-Thanks to his parents both being magizoologists he's been around all kinds of magical creatures since he was a kid. He loves them and can usually establish a good rapport with most creatures.
Reading-On the odd chance that he's not seen with his brother you'll likely find him with his nose in some book.
Dueling-Though intelligent he is surprisingly good at dueling. Though not a master or expert by any means his skill in dueling can often catch people off guard.
Dislikes
Heights-He can't stand heights and hates flying. He prefers other methods of getting around and will put up a fight if anyone ever tries to get him into the air.
Prejudice-He doesn't understand the hate some other purebloods have towards muggleborns and he absolutely hate when people pick on others because of it.
Flying-He hates flying, and will always refuse to get on a broom.
Amortentia
To him amortentia smells faintly of chocolate, roses, and new books
Boggart
His boggart represents itself as a corpse that looks exactly like him. Really though it's a dead Lorcan but people witnessing this boggart usually have a very hard time figuring out who it is. Some people aren't sure whether he fears his brother's death or his own the most.
Patronus
His patronus is a wolf, loyal, but fierce. He'll usually use memories of him being on trips with the rest of his family. Really most memories of his family will work just fine.
Wand
His wand is a cedar wand with a pheonix feather core. It is about 12 inches in length.
*Biography:
Lysander was born to Luna and Rolf Scamander, just a few minutes before his twin brother Lorcan. The two grew up together, rarely if ever spending time apart. Which was good fro Lysander as he was the shyer of the two, and Lysander never made any friends other than his brother during his childhood. This was never helped by the Scamander families tendency to move around quiet a bit during the twins' youth. Due to the demanding life of a magizoologist the twins moved to many different places while their parents studied various magical creatures. Through it all though he had Lorcan, and while his brother was always by Lysander's side Lysander would try to keep his more impulsive twin out of trouble.
When it came time for the twins to attend Hogwarts Lysander was at first nervous, and worried that he would be sorted away from Lorcan. A fear which almost came to fruition as the Sorting Hat was placed atop his head. The hat saw a future for the intelligent boy in Ravenclaw, though Lysander pleaded to be placed in Hufflepuff with his brother. That's all it took to convince the hat of Lysander's loyalty, this combined with his hardworking, and kind nature was more than enough to place Lysander among the kind and loyal Hufflepuffs.
Amongst the Hufflepuffs Lysander found himself amongst friendly faces, and suddenly he was no longer limited to his brother for social interaction. It didn't take long for Lysander to break free from his meekness, and though he is still somewhat reserved he no longer had any difficulties talking to others, being now much more willing to talk to others.
Over the years at Hogwarts he made more friends than he thought possible, even becoming something of a helpful authority figure with the younger Hufflepuffs. His protectiveness had reached over all the Hufflepuffs,particularly the emerging first years, no longer just limited toward his brother. Now in his last year at Hogwarts however his thoughts have turned toward his future. He's currently torn between becoming a magizoologist like his parents or finding a career where he can put to use his knowledge and fascination of muggles and their technology.
